The arterial switch operation (ASO) is a life-saving surgery for infants with transposition of the great arteries (TGA). Developed in 1975, ASO is now the standard treatment, offering improved outcomes for this critical congenital heart defect.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
  • Congenital Heart Disease
  • Cardiovascular Surgery

Background:

  • Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a critical congenital heart defect with a high mortality rate without intervention.
  • The development of surgical techniques has been crucial for improving survival rates in infants with TGA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical evolution of the arterial switch operation (ASO) for TGA.
  • To assess the current outcomes and efficacy of the ASO procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical surgical literature and landmark publications on TGA repair.
  • Analysis of reported outcomes and long-term follow-up data for patients undergoing ASO.

Main Results:

  • The arterial switch operation (ASO), first performed successfully in 1975, has become the preferred surgical treatment for TGA.
  • ASO has significantly improved survival rates and quality of life for patients with TGA and associated defects like VSD.

    • Conclusions:

    • The arterial switch operation represents a major advancement in pediatric cardiac surgery.
    • ASO is a well-established and highly successful procedure for the definitive treatment of TGA.
